It Is charged that the combination price of $64 50 wis cut by at least $1 per ton. If this accntion Is found to be correct, there is little douct that tho combination will not last lone. The agents of a number of foreign" maker have been verv restive under the restrictions which the" agreement lmpoed, and have ques tioned freelv the wisdom of a policy which practically turned over to the leading Amer ican producer the whole of the country West of the Allegheny Mountains, hereby far the largest part of the mild steel pro duced in this country is made.

Contrary to expectation tho bears did not make a further raid on corn to-day. The clique apparently had the market well in hand, and, under cover of the strength of wheat, put the price of the ruling option up V,ip above tho closing nrico of yesterday.

Oats followed the conrse of the major cereals being weak early and strong later, and closing near the top figures of the day. The provision market was irregular, open ing weak and closing strong, and in that re spect it merely responded to the action of tho grain market. The packers were bidding for the October option and selling the Janu ary. There is an actual discount of 12Kc in January compared with October ribs. Janu ary pork still maintains a good premium from the fact of its superiority in a specula tive sense, but to-day It gained onlv 15c on yesterdav's oloslngriccs, while October ad vanced 27KC- One cause lor the strength in provisions was the report of tho stocks of cnt meats m the country, showing a decrease of 1SS.000 000 pounds since Julv 1.

Heal Estate Deals, With Interesting Features, Closed Up. A CHEONIC CROAKER UNMASKED. Interest in Oil Revived ly a Large Increase in the Certificates. FEATDEES OF MONEY AND STOCKS The report of the pipe line companies for Angust, posted on 'Change yesterday made quite a stir in qil circles. Its immediate effect was bullish. Certificates increased 954,000, making the total now available for trading purposes 3,212,038. This shows that the certificate factory is again in oper ation and giving the boys more oil to handle. Nearly all the brokers spoke con Adcntly of a lively market bofore many weeks roll by. A transaction in Allegheny City real estate was brought to a head yesterday which con fidently shows that foresiglit was as rare 44 years ago as It Is to-day. Northside land owners at that time. In their forecasts of tho fntnre, had no expectation that buyers in 1891 would pay $3,000 a foot front for ground that had cost the original owners $5 or $8. A. Lcggate & Son sold a lot 30x90 on Ohio street, between Arch street and Burgess alley, with an old frame building occupied as an agricultural Implement store, for $20, 500. Tho last previous sale of this property was In 1847. when It was purchased by John Arbuckle for $1,600. Mr. Arbnckle was the founder of the lamlly of that name, and the ploneor cotton mill operator in Western Pennsylvania. Work on theSchenley Park branch of the Second Avenue Electric Railway is being pushed as fast as possible. Rails were de livered yesterday at the park end of Green field avenue, and they will he laid at once. as the contract has been let. It was sem ofllcinlly stated yesterday that the road would be in operation by October 1. A croaker wa9 cornered yesterday after noon. He was in a real estaiv! office, looking and talking as blno as indigo. "Business Is flat on its back aid everything is going to sticks," ho remarked. "What mates you think so?" asked a bystander. "A compari son of the statistics of last year and of this is proof enough." "Yes, but last year, while active in spots, ended with disaster, from which wo have not fully recovered. The Duslness of the city is heavier tlian in any other year, with the exception of 1800. What can you say to that?" "Well, things look shaky and uncertain to me." Then the bystander nut in a clincher "Of course, with your views you are afraid to invest, and are doing noth ing. I heard you were after a big slice of East End real estate?" "Yes, there is a piece of land out there I would like to ouy, bnt the outlook is so bad I am afraid." This let the cat out of the bag. He was croaking for a purpose. By throwing cold water on everything he hoped to so discourage the owner of the property he wanted as to cause hiin tosellat a reduction. This is always the case with people who go around with funereal look and voice preaching calamity from morning till night. They are not so disinterested as they seem. They have axes to grind. Fortunately, they find few listen ers and still fewer believers. With facts to the contrary before them, it is uphill work to make people believe that they are rush ing to destruction with the speed of a. comet. H. P. Slaughterbeck, a well-known East Ender, has purchased from Mrs. Elizabeth Sargent 150 feet on Mellon street by nearly 200 on St. Clair, Nineteenth ward, for $12,000, or about $33 a foot front. Property in the same neighborhood was in demand at $33 a foot a year ago, when owners had extrava gant ideas. Asking Is one thing and getting is another. Although there Is no general surrender of advanced ground, and no ex pectation of it, a few owners in need of ready money are making slight concessions. It is understood the purchaser will improve, by erecting several handsome dwellings. Wylle avenue is one of tho most conserva tive thoroughfares in the citF. F6w changes in ownership of real estate occur, and Im provement) is slow. Fresh blood is needed to stir np things. Adpartnre that occa sioned some surprise was made a day or two ago. when the John Wallace estate sold to L Annie E. Deln a property near Townsend street lorsaouu. The lot is 24x124, witu three brick buildings, one in the front and two in the rear. Property on a well-paved street, in the heart of the"city, is certainly cheap at less than $400 a foot front. Business News and Gossip. There is hope for tho oil traders yet. Ten of Senator Flinn's houses at the corner of Greenfield avenue and Lydia street are well under way. They will be completed within a month. Rapid transit will be the making of the hill district on the Sonthsidc, and the pros pect of It makes land owners smile. The Chautauqua Ice Cowipany yesterday took out a permit for a seven-story factory on Pike street, to cost $15,000.

There was considerable activity in finan cial circles yesterday. Bankers reported a good call for discounts and loans, liberal checking and depositing, and sufficient fnnds to keep things moving. Currency was somewhat easier than of late, reflecting the movement from West to East. Interest rates were steadv at 67 per cent. Ex changes through the Clearing House were $2,349,886 aTand balances $291,473 95. The Journal of Finance publishes letters from leading bankers from all parts of tho Sonth. They show that immediately after tne Earing failure bankers began to curtail their operations. The effect ot this has been to place all banking interests on a solid basis. It also resulted In the borrowing of less advance money by cotton planters; hence, the present crop "has less indebted ness against it than the crops of former years. A period of activity and substantial development is universally predicted. At New York yesterday money on call was easy, ranging from 2 to 5 per cent; last loan 2K. closed offered at 2.

BUT Buyers More Liberal in Their Views, but Not Up to the Sticking Point No Pro nounced Gains or Losses Sales and Final Figures. There was a rushing business on call yes terday In putting figures on the board, but otherwise very little was done. The fact that buyers were putting aside their narrow views and reaching out was encouraging. The event of the day was tho sale of -a big block of Pleasant Valley Railway stock at a good price. It is thought that under the leadership of this corporation the rest of the street railways will soon improve their standing. The nntnral gassers appeared to be in less demand than usual, but they held their own. Theio has been some talk of a divi dend by the Philadelphia Company In Oc tober, but from Information obtainedyestor day there appears to be no ground for the surmise. Surplus earnings, whatever they may be, will be applied to the debt, which is being wiped out very fast. Electric was off a little on weak support in Boston, which must be depended npon to furnish tho inspiration, ns tho local demand is exceedinglv light. Luster improved a fraction, as did also Switch and Signal. Sales were: First call 150 Pleasant Valley at il. Second call No sales. Third call 17 Electric at 11.

STOCKS DULLER AND LOTVEK BECAUSE OF HESITATION, The Strength of Vanderbllts a Supporting Element Cordage an Exception to the General Decline Final Losses Not Largo Railroad Bonds Weak. New-York, Sept. 10. The stock market to day exhibited during most of the session a marked decrease in the amount of bnsiness done, while the speculation had a hesitating tone, which clearly reflected the attitude of the speculators pending the determination of the "attitude of the Gould party in the market. The general view is still decidedly bullish. The new strength displayed by the Vander biltsisa strong supporting element In tho market. Lake Shore sold at the highest price it has reached in years, touching 1L9, and while it reacted sharply for a time it was well held late In the day, and C C , C. St. L. was the strong point in the list; but the movements in the Nickel Plates and the Chesapeake and Ohio gave Signs of having reached thelrllmits for the present. The Villards wore stronger, but made no marked advances, while specialties like New Eng land and the llko were remarkably qu'ot, and no movement among the Industrials occurred except a partial recovery in Cord age after Its sharp decline of yesterday. The market opened generally fractionally higher than last night's figures, but bear pressure knocked Cordage down over 1 per cent tartner, wnno iuissoun .racinc ana Rock Island exhibited special weakness for a short time. The effect on the latter was probably due to the general expectation that the Government crop report would show a lower average for corn than last month, and this factor entered into the course of all the Grangers. The demand, however, soon changed the tone of tho spec ulation, and the Vnjiderbils, especially C.C., C. & St. L. and Lake Shore, lea an upward movement which lasted throughout the forenoon and placed most of the active stocks at large fractions above their first prices. The buying power fell away after that time, a heavy failure In London added Its Influence to the bear pressure and prices re ceded all along the line, Lake Shore being one of the weakest on small transactions, though, as a rule, the Gould shares led the list. The decline was not checked until the last few minutes, when a feeble rally oc curred, closing the market Arm. but at close to the lowest prices of the day. The final changes are generally small fractional losses, but Lake Shore is Vt lower and Lack awanna 1 per cent, while Cordage is up 1 per cent. The total sales of stocks to-dav were 362,357 shares.
